The other day someone close to me said, "summer is almost over." I was taken aback because we have just celebrated July 4th. But in truth summers do fly by and, while summer is a time for relaxing and vacationing and kicking back, we cannot forget the importance of our tai chi chuan (taijiquan) practice. Practice what you know. Patience and Practice are very important. 

A month ago I challenged any student who would accept to pick one tai chi form, either empty hand or weapon, and do it every day at least once for a month. I have gotten some excellent feedback about how this practice has touched your every day experience. I am looking for more responses from students about their experiences. Not to worry if you missed a day or two throughout the month, but how has the routine practice made a difference?
